The LA Bike Plan maps have been released!
Your input is needed!

The long awaited City of LA Bike Plan maps were finally made available to the public late last week. The maps will serve as the basic framework of the Plan. The City of Los Angeles has made them available on their website. The complete plan has not yet been released.

http://www.labikeplan.org/bikeway_maps/

We, here at LACBC, feel these maps are not ambitious enough to serve as a blue print for infrastructure change in the next decade. While local connector networks could be improved by the proposed changes, major connectivity issues within the city remain unaddressed.

We are disappointed with the process and the current draft, but we see this as an opportunity to educate and influence the city to create positive movement toward meeting the needs of cyclists.

Your input is crucial! The time is NOW to weigh in on the Bike Plan!

TAKE ACTION by June 12th!
Your comments are an integral and important part of the process!

What you can do:
Review the maps carefully
What is missing? Send in streets that you feel have been overlooked to LA City and to LACBC
Look at the "infeasible" marked streets and choose 5 that you feel should be prioritized.
Send in your comments by June 12th to:
Jordann Turner
LA Bike Plan's project manager
jordann.turner@lacity.org

LACBC
lacbc.comments@la-bike.org

LACBC will be speaking with public and city officials officials. We will be incorporating your comments to highlight the streets that YOU, our members, feel are important corridors that should not be disregarded.
